Removing dog urine smell... grrr

[lorenz0]

So I am dog sitting right now 2 dogs and one is not trained (long story)

Even walking the dogs 3 - 4 times a day is not enough. Well after a month I am actually starting to get sick. My apartment doesn't have circulating air and it is starting to smell disgusting. I picked up a rug doctor tonight and cleaned the carpets using a general cleaner, which worked at making them look 100% better but it did not remove the smell. I also had my windows and patio door open for 4 hours in hope that it might help but nothing. Also tried febreeze oder neutralizer and that didn't work.

Any help would be very much appreciated

sprinkle a few handful of ordinary baking soda on your carpet or couches let it sit for a couple hours (don't get it wet) when time is up vaccum it all and you will have a clean smell out of your furniture.don't spend your dog sitting money on any store bought chemicals it defeat the purpose of a job

+1 on baking soda. If that doesn't work, restoration companies will have a similar powder that you sprinkle and vacuum up but it's a bit more aggressive.

baking soda will even pull the smell out of dry carpet? I have dark carpet and in such a small place I can't even tell where the damage was done since the smell is everywhere.

Umm I'll buy the biggest box I can find tomorrow morning and just lock the dogs in the washroom while I am out for lunch

Costco should have either a big bag of it or a case lot of the little boxes.

Worst case hire a professional carpet cleaner to come in & clean things, the equipment & chemicals they have will do the job that a rug doctor can't
